Step 1:
create a dynamic view object which returns the set of values for the list.
<jbo:CreateViewObject appid="<%= sPool %>" name="CgRefCodesView1" >
SELECT RV_LOW_VALUE AS RV_LOW_VALUE FROM CG_REF_CODES WHERE RV_DOMAIN = 'YESNO' ORDER BY 1 DESC
</jbo:CreateViewObject>
<jbo:DataSource id="DS_Lookup_Type1" appid="<%= sPool %>" viewobject="CgRefCodesView1" ></jbo:DataSource>
Step 2: Get the original value into a variable. And Declare HTML select input type.
By using rowset iterator every time compare the datasource value(declared in dynamic view object) with the original value. If matched say selected. please follow the code
below.If you find any problems I will explain
in detail.
<%
String myVar = (String) DS_Master.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("XenograftFlag");
%>
<SELECT name="XenograftFlag" >
<jbo:RowsetIterate datasource="DS_Lookup_Type1">
<%
myVar1 = (String) DS_Lookup_Type1.getRowSet().getCurrentRow().getAttribute("RV_LOW_VALUE");
try {
if (myVar.equals(myVar1)) {
%>
<OPTION SELECTED><jbo:ShowValue datasource="DS_Lookup_Type1" dataitem="RV_LOW_VALUE" />
<% }else { %>
<OPTION><jbo:ShowValue datasource="DS_Lookup_Type1" dataitem="RV_LOW_VALUE" />
<% }} catch(Exception e) {
%>
<OPTION><jbo:ShowValue datasource="DS_Lookup_Type1" dataitem="RV_LOW_VALUE" />
<% } %>
</jbo:RowsetIterate>
<%
try {
if (myVar.equals("")) {
%>
<OPTION SELECTED>
<% }else { %>
<OPTION>
<% }} catch(Exception e) {
%>
<OPTION SELECTED>
<% } %>
</SELECT>
